Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with Astroid Framework 3.3.8 on a Joomla 5.3.x website.
Environment
Joomla version: 5.3.x
Astroid Framework version: 3.3.8
PHP version: 8.0
Templates: Astroid-based templates (Jollyany / GoldenA)
Server: Linux / Apache
Issue description
In Administrator → Templates → Styles, the “Template Options” button/panel does NOT appear for any Astroid-based template.
Only the basic Joomla style fields are shown (Style name, Menu Assignment, Preview), but no Astroid UI (Layout, Header, Colors, Typography, etc.) is injected.
What works
Astroid templates work correctly on the frontend
Astroid plugin is installed and enabled
Astroid modules and library are installed
No JavaScript errors in browser console
No 404/403 errors for Astroid assets
/media/astroid/ assets load normally (directory listing is disabled but files load)
Safe Mode is disabled
Tabs Visibility is set to “Visible”
The issue happens with all Astroid templates on this site
What was tested
Cleared Joomla cache
Disabled Safe Mode
Enabled Astroid Debug
Reinstalled Astroid Framework package (without uninstalling first)
Checked JS Network tab (no Astroid-related errors)
Compared with another Joomla site where Astroid works correctly
Important note
On another website (different Joomla installation), Astroid works correctly and the Template Options button is visible, so this seems to be a Joomla 5 + Astroid admin integration issue on this installation.
Expected behavior
Astroid should inject the Template Options panel into the template style edit screen in Joomla administrator.
Could you please confirm:
Whether Astroid 3.3.8 is fully compatible with Joomla 5.3.x
If there is a known issue with the admin hook for com_templates
If there is any additional plugin/module required for Joomla 5 to enable the Template Options panel
Thank you for your support.
